2 Things To Do [1-2]

Yata-dera Temple

Famed as a hydrangea temple in Nara, Yata-dera has as many as 10 thousand trees and 60 kinds of hydrangeas including rare ones. We never get tired of watching the differences between the kind at a sample garden.

Genkuro Inari-jinja Shrine

At 'Yamato Hina festival' held by the whole town, there're many hina dolls displayed in a shrine office. Such as hanging hina dolls and some made 100 years ago, they're worth seeing. You'll be attracted to the flowery scene in the slight aroma of plum blossoms.

Because the shrine related to a kabuki play titled 'General Yoshitsune and Thousand Cherry Trees', some kabuki actors and celebrities visit here. And in spring, a weeping plum tree, planted as a memorial tree when sixth Kankuro Nakamura succeeded the name, blooms with nice fragrance to be worth seeing.
